forces during the late war: 81 have to-

COLUMBUS. O., June 15.-The Governor
tonight in response to inquiries from the
East asking his opinion Of President
Clevelands order to return the captured
flags, and whether the veterans Of Ohio
would willingly part with their trophies
of their victories, sent the
the following: Il could stand
their landations of Jefferson
Davis and the Joining of him and Cleye-
land in eulOgies of Calhoun and sece sion;
| could also keep the peace while ROSSer
was ordering Sheridan to keep out of the
Shenandoah Valley and Henry Watterson
was speaking of the dependent pen
sion bill as hnement to abolish
vagibOndage by pensioning lot of tramps,
but began to lose my temper when the
President of the United States went fish
ing on Decoration Day, and made up my
mind that the time had come to draw
a Lime, when in ignorance or def
ance of the law he usurped authority to
order the rebel flags returned to the seced-
ing States. Not that have any affection
for dirty rags, but because they are en-
blems of treason, that are wanted for no
other purpose than public parade, and to
fire the Southern heart with pride
for lost cause that ought
never to be recalled except with shame,
because it is the crime of the age. The
people of Ohio are not ready to recognize
the Southern Confederacy and they do not
intend to do so. This State will not sur
render any rebel flags"

G. A. Il. veterans heard these words with

Alexander Hamilton, Post 1S2. G. A. r.

WANTS THEM RErURND.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Repsesenta-
tive Hatch, of Missouri, says he was pres
ent at the second interview between Gen.
erals Grant and Lee. when the conditions
of the surrender were agreed upon, and
General Grant authorized the Southern
forces to retain their side arms and other
accoutrements, and return to their homes
in peace. Mr.. Hatch said: "ThOse of
us who had seen four years of war
buried all animosity and hatred under
the old apple tree ut Appomat-
tox and instantly became brothers and
friends. why" he continued, "before
General Grants order TO supply the de-
feated army with ratiOns could be execut-
ed, the union soldiers threw their KNAPP
sacks and haEersacks upon the ground and
divided their rations with their former
enemies. A better illustration of the friend
ly feeling that existed between the two
armies could not have been given. Now,
as General Grant said that the side arms,
accoutrements, and in some cases the
horses of the confederates should be re-
turned to their respective owners, do not
see why the old regimental and company
flags should not also 90 back to their
original owners

AN EXPLANATION.

Why the President Issued the Order to
Return the Flags.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 16.-The
following statement with regard to the
Presidents action concerning the proposed
return of battle flags was made at the
White House tonight to a representative
of the Associated Press: 'When the ques-
ton was proposed to the President by the
Adiutant General, an important feature
suggested was to return to the loyal States
flags which had been captured by COnfed-
crates and retaken by our army at
the time of the collapse Of the
rebellion. They, with such Confederate
flags as had been captured from the enemy
by our troops had, it was represented, fer
q long time lain uncared for and neglected,
packed away in boxes in the cellar Of the
War Department, and had been removed
to the attic as a better place for their safe
keeping. The disposition of the flags,
which seemed to be answering no good
purpose where they were, was the main
sented to the President that some flags
had been returned to the loyal States
upon their request in individual cases
and the rest, if desired, might as
well he retured together. The
return of the Confederate flags,
which were with the others in the Depart
ment, was suggested, but there was not
the slightest thought of interfering with
captured flags now held by any State. The
fact Was apparently received with favor by
the country, that in one case Northern
troops visiting their late antagonists in the
South had returned to them flags which
had been captured in battle from those
whose hospitalities they were receiving; the
further fact that Northern troops who with
in short time had been visiting Southern
battle fields, had spoken in warmest terms
of the kind and hospitable treatment
they had received from former eonfed-
crate soldiers, and the fact, too,
that soldiers from the north and south
were Just gathering at Washing
ton to meet in friendly competition at the
National drill, seemed to indicate that il
Union flags were returned to loyal States
which had lost them in battle, it would
not be inconsistent with the fraternah SEN
timent which seemed to be prevalent
| to offer at the same time to the
governors OfStates formerly in the rebellion
a return Ofthe flags which were taken from
their soldiers. The right of the department
TO make these returns then in question by
the President was distinctly asserted and
precedents alleged and theIeupOn his oral
assent was given to the proposed action.
The matter was dismissed from his mind
until comment thereupOn within the last
day OF so, broughtit again to his attention,
when upon personally examining the law
and considering the subject more carefully,
he satisfied himself that no disposition Of
these flags could be made without Con,
greSsional action, whereupOn he directed a
suspension Of operations by the letter made

John Bright MIsquoted Gladstone.

LONDON, June 16.-Mr. John Bright
has written to Mr.. Gladstone an apology
for inaccurately quoting his Swansea
speech and accusing him Of talking Of
Ireland 'as if there was no Province OF
Ulster" the fact being that Mr.. Gladstone
made long and distinct references to Ulster
and its peculiar interest in the Home Rule
question. Mr.. Bright says he made this
somewhat inaccurate quotation from
memory" He adds: 81 still contend,
however, that there is no hope in Mr.
Gladstone's promise to consider the case
of the Ulster Protestants in his plan OF
settling the Irish question. Mr.. Gladstone
must know that any plan of dealing with
the Protestants apart from the rest of the
population of Ulster is impossible. The
recent astounding revelations made by the
Times must have increased the dread OF
Ulster to be subjected to Parnellite rule. "
The letter concludes as follows: 81 grieye
that l cannot act with you as in years
past, but my judgment and conscience
forbid it. II | have said word that
seems harsh or unfriendly, will ask you
to forgive il"

LONDON, June 16.-The relative posi-
tions of the yachts in the jubilee race are
still uncertain, as the haze prevents them
from being seen. Mr.. Poppham writes to
the papers protesting against the gross
negligence of which the Captain of the
steam yacht Pandora was guilty in rum
ming into the American yacht Dauntless.
He says the collision took place at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, and that the Dauntless
had her mizzen gaf' carried away and sails
split, and only escaped being cut into
amidships by the Pandora through the
smartness of the Dauntless' skipper.

Lamar NI.Y BE Chosen.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-AlthOugh 1t Is
possible that the President may have asur-
prise in store for the public, the beliefthat
Secretary Lamar viii be appointed to the
Supreme Bench gains much credit The
assertion is freely made that 1t Is fore
zone conclusion. So widespread is this be-
lief that already brisk canvaSsing Is going
ON concerning who is likely to succeed
Secretary Lamar. Quite q number OF
political prophets incline to the opinion that
Senator Ransom, of Mort Carolina, will get
the berth, while others predict that Assis-
tant Secretary Muldrow will be promoted.
1t may be mentioned that Senator Ransom
had protraeted interview with the Presl-
dent Tuesday, and yesterday was eloseted
with Secretary Lamar.
